My latest 'go to' item - Round Sisal Rugs

An item thats been popping up in my work recently is a round sisal rug!
Gorgeous & warm in colour, with great texture. A round rug will also soften all the square lines in a room. 

Im loving the Armadillo & co 'Dandelion' rug at the moment!


Another one that I've been using, that is a bit more budget friendly, is the Freedom Madras rug

  1. Are they scratchy on the back? Worried about my new timber floors. Agonising over new decor too in Family, kitchen, dining area. Two large cream leather sofas dominate and I can't justify tossing them. Can I work with them? Its a large area in a sort of L shape with the dining in the L. Love your looks. Kindly, Tonkath

  2. Sisal Rugs is different from coir, hemp grass and jute; it is much stronger and hence durable than most natural fibers. Its strength makes it perfect for making plaster reinforcements, dartboards, ropes and twine for marine and bailing purposes. Sisal's textured look makes it a favorite among interior designers across the world. These qualities of sisal also make it a preferred material for rugs and carpets.

  4. Sisal rugs are made from natural fibers derived from the 'agave sisalana' cactus plant that is grown in the semi-arid regions of Brazil and Africa. The plants are known for their toughness and durability, to the extent that the commercial production of Tanzanian sisals have survived every drought in over a century. The fibers are harvested by hand from the leaves of the plant and can grow up to three feet long. Each leaf contains about 1,000 fibers which are processed (crushed, beaten, washed, dried, brushed and baled) to make rugs and the remainder of the plant is used to produce electricity to sustain the local economies of the grower countries. Not only are sisal rugs extremely durable, they also pose several environmental benefits; they are harvested in a sustainable manner and are renewable as well as biodegradable Sisal rugs are generally very refined looking and are available in a variety of colors.
